Here are my answers:When and why did Northern Ireland split up from Southern Ireland? Because of a war. England wanted the 6 best counties to be part of the United Kingdom. Those counties was Northern Ireland. Why is the Irish Sea called the Irish Sea? Why isn't it the English Sea? It's because Ireland is the smallest piece of land so that's why it's called the Irish sea.What are leprechauns? They are like gods, there's one for different things such as knowledge. They are quite small and can do magic, I think.Was Northern Ireland ever part of Southern Ireland? Yes.What are some Irish myths and legends? See my post about Clough Mor! A giant from the north was killed by a different giant from the south with a huge boulder. That giant is now sleeping.

Long ago, when the Northern Irish were fighting the Southern Irish, two giants were fighting - one from the North and one for the South. The Southern giant threw a big boulder at the Northern giant and killed him. So now there is a big rock that the Irish think the Southern giant threw. They call it Clough Mor, meaning Big Stone.

But the rock was actually moved by a glacier!

We went on a walk to the big rock. We went through a jungle, up a hill and there it was...The big rock. We then went even higher to the view point called Slieve Martin. It was cold and windy but the view was good.

Remember how I read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe? Here's a walk to do with it. They say that C.S. Lewis came up with the idea when he was in Ireland looking at the landscape. The walk starts at the big wardrobe door that you walk through that leads you to the lamp post. If you turn left that's the Beaver's Hut will be. You carry on towards the Tree Spirits and walk across the green. Then you enter the Witch's Courtyard and you will see her castle. If continue on your left you will see little tree houses (not houses in the trees, but small tree houses). Then you go towards the four thrones and then you get back to the beginning. The walk was interesting because of the way that they made you feel like you were in Narnia and meeting all the characters, making the book come alive!

10 days of Ireland... Dad wants to go rock pooling on Cranfield Beach. First time wet. Second time big crab, wet. Third time, hermit crab, starfish and so wet. Fourth time, NOTHING! We called it The Cranfield Curse!

When me and Zoe were at Grandad and Moya's house, we started a seed collection of all the seeds we found. We made a little bag for all the seeds. So far, we found:ConkersBeech NutsSticky BudsSycamore SeedsCommon ash treeCommon limeAnd a few more.My favorite are the sycamore seeds because it's interesting how some have two seeds, some have three and some have five!If you look really closely, you can see little hooks on the sticky buds ( the stick buds have hooks to stick onto animals and be re-planted ). You can open a beech nut with out touching it ( it cracks open ).

Sometimes I just feel that I have no idea what to blog about. So today, for the first time, I'm going to start my Top 5 Series! I might sometimes do a Top 10! So down to business.

I'm going to start with my Top 5 Books!5. The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. I like this book because it's all magical and adventurous4. Secret Seven Win Through by Enid Blyton. This is fourth because all the mysteries makes you think Why and How?3. Ferrok the Iron Soldier by Adam Blade. This is in my top five because of the terrifying beast sounds.2. The 13th Horseman by Barry Hutchinson. This is nearly at number one because of how thrilling and strange the story is1. Demon Dentist by David Walliams. I love this book because how hilarious it is.

At school, the PFA gave us 1000 pounds to buy a new playground! Our class thought of the things we might want and here are the categories:

Shelter

Obstacle course and

Garden

As our homework, we were meant to make a list if all the things we wanted out of those categories and Daniela (our class councilor) would take what we'd like to the school council meeting. We ended up only having an obstacle course but it looks brilliant! We voted for what we wanted and here's what we ended up having:

Stage

A sort of rope o balance on with rope dangling on top to help get across
